How to Help
The Orange County Health Department and the Orange County Emergency Operations Center are planning for the distribution and administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Health Department will receive direct allocations of vaccine to be administered in the community.
Part of this local planning effort includes compiling a list of persons and organizations interested and willing to assist in mass vaccinations. Please complete this form to be added to the roster of staff at a mass vaccination site (Point of Dispensing). Please note some of the positions available require a certified or licensed healthcare professional and you will need to provide a copy of your active certification or license. Additional communications and training will be provided after registering. You will be contacted soon after you submit your information.
Please direct any questions you may have about this survey to the Emergency Operations Center Planning Section at vaccinevolunteer@orangecountync.gov or visit: https://redcap.link/COVIDvaccinePOD
